Sat 1. Joshua – Kenya

Joshua’s ministry is located on the border of Kenya and Somalia. For weeks they have been braving threats of imminent attack. There have been some direct threats to his family where unknown people would stone their house. The al-Shabaab Islamic terrorist group blew up the area communication infrastructure rendering telephones useless and then real and specific threats were directed at the team. After emergency prayer and action, Joshua and his team were moved to Nairobi temporarily and are currently undergoing extensive therapy. Please pray for quick recovery from the trauma they, and especially the children, experienced. Pray for peace in the ministry area and wisdom as the ministry considers the right time for the team to return to the field and to the people who they, and Jesus, love.

Mon 3. Yinka – Nigeria

A few months ago, due to security challenges surrounding unrest and violence in the area, the school in which Yinka serves was forced to close. Many students and members of staff left the school, thus leaving all work for the few who were able to stay. “The work looked impossible at first but with joint efforts of the available hands, the uphill task turned out to be easier than I envisaged. Even though we are not fully staffed yet, God is helping us and we see His sufficiency daily,” Yinka said. Recently, a male student, was brought back to the school by an aggravated father who complained about his behavior at home during the crisis. Thank God that after lots of counselling and prayers, the boy confessed to all allegations and promised, with God’s power, to change for the better. Yinka started noticing some changes in him.
